Brad CoxHailing from Jindabyne in NSW’s Snowy Mountains, Brad Cox burst onto the country music scene in 2018 with his self-titled debut album, earning two Golden Guitar nominations. In 2020, his sophomore album My Mind’s Projection took his career to new heights, featuring hits like “Give Me Tonight,” “Drinking Season,” and “Short Lived Love.” The album hit #1 on the ARIA Australian Country Album Chart and #12 on the ARIA Album Chart. In 2023, his third album ACRES debuted at #1 on the ARIA Country Charts, #7 on the ARIA Album Chart, won the Golden Guitar for Top Selling Country Album, and scored an ARIA nomination. The record showcases Brad’s versatility, from country pop to piano ballads and party anthems. Now signed with Warner Music Australia, Brad Cox has released his 4th studio album ‘Endemic Intelligence in Multiple Dimensions’; the 15 track collection hears Brad Cox in a light you haven’t heard before & delivers what might be his most creatively charged and emotionally unguarded work to date. It’s a mature, fiercely personal album that rejects trend-hopping in favour of something more honest, more real, and all the more powerful for it.
